Life Challenge Program

You faced the challenge of treatment head on, establishing healthy habits and using new tools to get through the tough days. You’ve done the hard work and set new goals. Now, as you prepare to leave Michael’s House, the real adventure begins. You face that challenge known as life. Fortunately, our Life Challenge program (aka the L+C) has your back. Think of it as your recovery fan club. We’ve seen you do some pretty amazing things here, and we’re coming along for the ride to remind you of past victories and celebrate new milestones.

The L+C is a positive and motivational community filled with go-getters like you, ready to tackle their next steps and cheer for others as they do the same. Whether your challenge is getting out of bed in the morning, reconnecting with a loved one or making strides towards a personal goal, we are here to help you see it through. Packed with alumni from Foundations Recovery Network facilities across the country, the L+C provides valuable opportunities to connect with others in recovery and a vast network of potential friends, advocate and mentors. Together, we break down the barriers that keep us from fully experiencing life, and create relationships for long-term recovery.

Once you leave Michael’s House and begin adjusting to your new normal, you join the L+C family, where you’re more than just a name on a list. Thriving under the leadership of Alumni Support Services Coordinator Sabrina Mathis and the direction of Michael’s House Community Coordinator Teela Etheridge, our team of Life Challenge motivators exists to encourage and support you and your success. We’ll follow-up through your favorite means of communication — phone calls, text messages or email — to provide a pep talk or victory dance. The Life Challenge team is active on social media and within your local community, hosting events and reunions for L+C members. We’re invested in you and live to celebrate your achievements, both big and small.

An important part of recovery is taking time to recognize your progress and claim your accomplishments, which is why we created “Bragging Rights,” an online space dedicated to you and your success. There, you’ll tell us about the day you were brave, the bold move you made, the healthy habit you started. It’s also where you can share a photo of you enjoying family dinner, climbing a mountain or watching the sunrise. If you’re proud of it, tell us! You deserve the bragging rights.

Remember: We’re here to cheer you on as you continue to say, “Dear Life, Challenge Accepted.”
